About this role

The student will support experiments and development work on in-space assembly & manufacturing (ISAM) methods such as laser beam welding and laser bending/forming.

The ideal student would have extensive experience with either 1) integrating hardware and software components in an scientific experimental context with a knack for mechanical design and assembly and/or 2) modifying, executing, and analyzing computational science tools on high-performance compute resources. The student should also have some understanding in the areas of lasers, welding, metallurgy, controls, experimental design, and/or computational modeling. This is a hands-on experience so recent maker or makerspace work is highly desired.
